Moffat County High School’s ‘Gatsby’-themed prom an elegant affair

Moffat County High School seniors Aubrey Campbell and Matt Hamilton flaunt their regalia after being crowned Prom Queen and King Saturday night at the MCHS event. This year's theme was "The Great Gatsby."

Plenty of students went all out to fit the time period, with girls' gowns accompanied by feathers, sequins and headbands befitting flappers and young men wearing the kind of hats tuxedoes and accessories one would see on Gatsby himself as they strutted their way down the red carpet for the introductory Grand March.

The rules were altered for prom royalty this year, the top title no longer going to those in the junior class but instead the seniors. Juniors Wes Atkin and Sheyenne Cromer received the honors of Prom Prince and Princess, while King and Queen went to Matt Hamilton and Aubrey Campbell.

The pair also received Homecoming royalty last fall and were pleased with the repeat.
